Ramblings of an Emergency Physician in Texas

American Red Cross and You

At the top left is now a link to the American Red Cross homepage, which links to a pretty well done donation page, and what they need is moolah. The days of donating the blankets and beets from the cellar are long gone, and the Red Cross needs cold hard cash to make things happen. From watching the news, looks like they’re going to need a lot.

This also bears keeping in mind, for those who are a little reluctant to give (via LGF):

…there is no connection between the
International Committee of the Red Cross (a Europe-based organization
with an anti-American, anti-Israel agenda) and the American Red Cross,
who support the United States whole-heartedly, and have even withheld
dues from the ICRC, out of disgust at their agenda. Don?t target the
wrong group, just because they have a similar name.

Comments

I have found a large group of people that have a strong desire to do SOMETHING, but nobody quite seems to know what to do. Might I suggest that in addition to just giving your own money, that you rally others, and find a way to generate more cash for the ARC. We are having a fundraising potluck (bring a dish, and a check) as a fun way to generate some money while reconnecting with important loved ones.
